So is this some centralised stuff that will get enshittified if if works out or how does it work on a more technical side?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Static webpages are light to host. It could get enshittified but people could take their website and spend 5mins learning to host it on another place or their own machine.

Thanks, didn't know it was static content only.

Subsidiary question, are people actually having webpages on their own PCs nowadays? I always wondered why there seemed to be so few.

Fuck no. That's why this will get enshittified. Anyone that tells you people will just move or host it themselves live in a fucking dreamworld. That's why geocities went away without a replacement.

A shame, it would be nice if people had a web page served from their PC...

In a secure way ofc.

Its possible with .onion services imo. But that would require a shift to the hidden-web.

It will not. It's actually for community. It is a GeoCities(Dead) replacement a Old Website hoster.

how does it work on a more technical side?

It's for simple people. You got the idea wrong. I think you should use codeberg.page or github.io.

I doubt it would get big enough to be worth enshittifying, but it absolutely could happen.

I think you're being too dramatical

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was just curious about how it's supposed to function :-)

[–] P4ulin_Kbana@lemmy.eco.br 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah! It happens. Sorry if I was mean to you.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Ha ha no worries 😊

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io -1 points 2 months ago

Just extremely simple & limited, like the original garbage that was Geocities.
